About Dusty Kid

 
Dusty Kid first appeared in the early-00’s with a string of well-received releases. For example, Dusty Kid was one of many sparks that helped usher in a new era for electronic music. He has releases on globally esteemed labels such as Systematic, Bpitch Control, and Mau5trap. In addition, he saw himself catapulted into the spotlight and saw support come from key international artists such as Richie Hawtin. Dusty Kid had grown organically into his global position and saw himself become a permanent fixture on the international touring circuit.

 
Upon its release in 2009, the album demonstrated Dusty Kid’s extraordinary flair for producing intelligent dance music. He is a truly versatile and classically trained musician. In addition, his eclecticism and ability to embrace diverse sounds is what has made his music so timeless and sees ‘A Raver’s Diary’ continue to electrify and inspire.

About A Raver’s Diary

 
Dusty Kid merges direct dancefloor tracks with deep and hypnotic productions. For instance, ‘A Ravers Diary’ inspires trance-inducing atmospheres that make the music engaging from the first beat. ‘The Fugue – Contrapunctus X’ pays homage to Bach’s experimentation with monothematic instrumentation. The track directly references the theory as the basis to the track with two pieces of music occurring dependently together. Instantly commanding the attention of the listener with a melodic intro and austere bassline, Dusty Kid delivers this as a darker version of the original.

 

About the Tracks

 
Reworking original ‘Moto Perpetuo’, Dusty Kid’s ‘Heat Engine’ rework reveals an uncompromising techno track laced with trance elements. Meanwhile, Freedom Fighters adds progressive psytrance to his remix of ‘Moto Perpetuo’. In addition, the ‘Klin (Enaxri Point)’ rework is pitched up, embodying a deep electro beat, whilst ‘Amazon’ infuses ambient tones with emotive breaks. Filled with melancholy ‘America’ is a 17-minute-long opus – a lengthy piece that calls for its own ‘director’s cut’. Sounds great to me!
 

‘Cowboys Titles’ slows down the tempo on the album. The track layers synths amongst dreamy tone and edges down further with the Winter In June remix. Upping the ante, producer Ferlin’s remix of ‘Cowboy’s’ invokes acid lines whilst Andrea Cossu adds ambient and deep techno sounds. On ‘Nemur’ Dusty Kid utilizes lyrics and vocals in a folk-pop techno crossover. The track receives its own acoustic cover on the project alongside a mystic remix from Grizzly and a classical ‘Walls Of Guitar’ version from Italian producer Odyzë.

 
Canadian Nicolas Bougayeff looks back at his roots in 90’s rave music with his remix of ‘Pluk’, delivering both his two ‘Journey’ and ‘Tool’ remixes. Italian composer and violinist Vito Gatto also remixes ‘Pluk’, delivering a string-heavy track. ‘Lynchesque’ also receives a trio of remixes from Italian electronic artist Marascia, Isreali Eitan Reiter, and Acid Techno Pioneer, Robert Babicz.

 
2020’s re-issue holds a diverse range of remixes, new versions, and remasters from both Dusty Kid and friends. ‘A Raver’s Diary’ is set to reaffirm the prodigal Dusty Kid and his abilities as an electronic music artist.

 
Dusty Kid’s ‘A Raver’s Diary’ Vinyl Release will be available 15th May via Isolade.
